Business and Employment Law

Business and Employment Law

Task: The Assessment for this module contains one element with two questions. It is crucial that you answer BOTH questions In both questions, you MUST use appropriate legislation and/or case law in order to support your answers. The questions and background information upon which you must base your answers can be found in the ‘BE Law 2019 Assignment’ document at the bottom of this page. Assessment information and marking standards: For Questions 1 and 2: 1. Please make sure all cases are given a citation, preferably in the text or, as a minimum, in the list of references /bibliography. For example, ‘Ali v Baba [2015] 1 WLR 239’. The list of references should include a list of the legal cases and legislation mentioned in the answer. The legal cases and legislation are the primary sources of information in a law essay – you do not have to cite the secondary source where you viewed an Act, Regulations or a case. You should only give the legal citation, not the website, book or journal where you accessed details of the case. For example, this is the correct reference for this case – London Borough of Tower Hamlets v Mr J Wooster [2009] All ER (D) 160 – not London Borough of Tower Hamlets v Mr J Wooster, Turner, C (2013) Unlocking Employment Law, 383. 2. Please make sure all direct and indirect quotations from textbooks, journals or electronic resources are properly referenced (using an ‘in text citation’ in the main body of your answer, including a ‘pinpoint’ to the precise page or paragraph number in the case of direct quotations) and any resources used must be listed in the bibliography. 3. Do not use abbreviations such as ‘eg’, ‘ie’, contractions of words (use ‘does not’ rather than ‘doesn’t’ etc.), or simplify words such as ‘because’ to ‘cos’ or ‘for’ to ‘4’. It is important to observe and use good academic English in answering assignment questions, be it an essay or a problem question. 4. Please use proper paragraphs and paraphrasing. A paragraph should not consist of one sentence. There are excellent Guides to writing essays at http://anglia.libguides.com/writing/structure and http://anglia.libguides.com/writing/style (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. 5. As a recommendation, use either ‘Times New Roman’ or ‘Arial’ with a minimum font size of 10, and maximum of 12, with 1.5 spacing. 6. The answer must not be purely descriptive and efforts must be taken to relate the answer to the question throughout the discussion. However, if you make an assertion of law, someone else’s opinion, or fact you must support it with an academic reference or legal authority. 7. Do not use bullet points (it is a law essay). For Question 2: The Problem Scenario You may wish to follow the ‘ILAC’ formula in forming discussions for the problem question. ‘I’ – IDENTIFY’ the issue ‘L’ – Explain the ‘LAW’ (the law = legislation/judicial precedents from legal cases) surrounding the relevant area/ issue you have identified ‘A’ – APPLY the LAW – the relevant legal principles – to the issue and APPLY legal cases to support the opinion. ‘C’ ¬ give a CONCLUSION to the issue – What is your advice based on your analysis/evaluation of the LAW and the EVIDENCE from the facts of the case? This formula may be used over and over again in addressing all of the issues relating to each of the parties in the assignment question. There is likely to be more than One issue in each scenario. An overall conclusion should be given which summarises the situation and suggestions as to how to deal with/prevent this type of problem occurring in the future.
